Shownotes

This week we’re celebrating the stories of the Bradford Project, a massive art, poetry and storytelling project led by artist Lisa Creagh in the Bradford area. Alongside Lisa, I’m joined by two participants, Aamta Waheed and Reena Kler, to talk about their breastfeeding experiences and how the project has helped them to understand their mothering journey. We’ll also hear poems from Hannah, Sonia and Sophie, and an extract from the Holding Time podcast, featuring Aisha.
You can find out more about the project at linktr.ee/holdingtimeproject and on Youtube at youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWtMCVY_Nuktw4w_hd6… can follow Aamta on Instagram @‌aamtawaheedart (instagram.com/aamtawaheedart)
